Well, by my count this has 237 characters - so I think OpenOffice is 
right! Maybe the count of 416 was right too. (You've kept the 
evidence secret.) Are you perhaps counting your presses of Enter - to 
create paragraph breaks, not to add any additional characters in the 
text - as characters? Or do you have unnecessary spaces at the end of 
each paragraph which you are counting?

Or are you comparing the result with that from some other program, 
which must be the one that is suspect?

I trust this helps.
